Spring Load Restrictions

Page Content

Reduced weight restrictions are placed on the weight per axle of vehicles on some county highways during the spring months. Restriction periods can last a minimum of eight weeks. During that time, Oversize Vehicle Permits cannot be purchased online until the restrictions are lifted. Permit applications will still be accepted, by office visit, email, mail or fax.

After Spring Load Restrictions are lifted, Dakota County highways are restricted to 9 ton per axle except for a few roads and bridges.

When Spring Load Restrictions are lifted

After Spring Load Restrictions are lifted, Dakota County highways are restricted to 9 or 10 ton per axle, depending on the route, except for County Road 81, which is restricted to 7 ton per axle from County State Aid Highway 66 to State Highway 50 north of Hampton.
